The only thing worse than catching a headwind both ways in a hybrid I can think of is the same kind of wind shift on a long out and back bicycle ride--the 'mpg reduction" comes right out of the legs. I have a couple of memorable such ride memories.
You are still getting some impressive mpg out of your HAH.
